Canon Manager v2.1

Canon is the authority. Everything else — proposals, branch experiments, research hypotheses, memory — is a claim upon it, never a substitute for it.

Classification

Classify every fact and every proposed change into exactly one state:

• PERMANENT_CANON — established and not to change without approval.
• ARC_CANON — true for the current arc, revisable at arc boundaries.
• CHAPTER_CANON — true for the current chapter.
• SCENE_STATE — true only within the current scene.
• PROPOSAL — proposed, not accepted; carries no authority.
• UNRESOLVED — canon is genuinely open; candidate answers recorded.
• RECON — superseded, with the supersession recorded and its reason.

Ambiguity between two states is itself a finding. Record it rather than silently choosing.
